So friday night we walked to forest park from a friends house (they live in dogtown so it was close by) to see the balloon glow!! We went down for a friends birthday. It was fun. It's a HUGE thing here in St. Louis. And it's always crazy cause at any of these events, no matter how many people are there, we always seem to see someone we know in the crowd!
It was really warm nearby the balloons but it was pretty impressive to see that massive 12 foot flame up close.
The race was the next day. There is a giant energizer bunny (that is also a hot air balloon) that gets a head start and the balloons race to the finish. Apparently the bunny drops a sand bag at some point and then they all drop sand bags and whoever is the closest to the bunny wins, so it's more of a target race or something.
The group of friends we went with. Claire, the one with those cute little spectacles in the middle, it was her birthday. And that's Mark, her hubby, peeking his head behind her.
the bagpipers were awesome. We grooved for a bit. it was great!
